We all know that in Mac OS X 10.4, and in the upgrade 10.4.1, Apple
managed to break Samba. Now, I am at a great loss for remote
filesystem mounting. Not only is Samba broken, but NFS is
questionable (I can never seem to get rid of that "incorrect username/
password" error and retain read/write abilities). Also, I'm have
trouble with netatalkd for Debian. Are there any other filesystem
sharing systems that could work with OS X? I mean until Samba gets
fixed.
Because of its continued use as a heating duct sealant, duct
tape now surrounds us. Time and exposure to high temperatures slowly
breaks duct tape down, and tiny particles drift into ducts where they
are eventually carried into the air. And so, duct tape is like God.
It's everywhere.

But on the Postfix list and anywhere else that Apple seems to use FOSS, the code from the upstream never seems to compile cleanly on Mac OS X. As a long time Mac user I always wait for the Apple update to fix the problem. Or you can go to opendarwin.org and see if they have any suggestions. I just checked for binaries for you, fink's samba seems to be very old, & there is no Samba in the darwinports. So it looks like you can either wrestle with the source from opendarwin: http://darwinsource.opendarwin.org/tarballs/other/samba-92.9.tar.gz or wait for Apple Regards Geoff Scott
